In 1998, Mattel released 'Butterfly Art Barbie.' In 1998, I was 16- free of any tattoos or any other sort of body modification. Butterfly Art Barbie was promoted as a Barbie doll with 'painted on' butterfly art designs. While you can rationalize that they might possibly painted on (ala Barbie's weekend vacation to the Jersey shore-WHY DO I KNOW EVEN KNOW THIS?) in reality it is a tattooed Barbie. The idea- very cool. The execution- predictable & tacky.

There is even a 'Butterfly Art' car that Barbie & crew can ride in as well.

Here's some more info. You can find a plethora of these dolls on Ebay.
